1979 F250

Post by jcb9089 »

Trying to figure out what this truck is worth. I picked up from an older guy that didn't need it anymore, but I'm not sure i need any more projects.

Specs: 460 with less than 5k miles on rebuild (fires right up and sounds awesome), duel exhaust with smog equipment, HD D44 and D60 rear, MT wheels/BFG All terrains. Body is good shape and doesn't have any rust rot that I have found.

The top isn't any good and needs replaced, but the truck only needs a paint job and it would look awesome.

Any idea what I should ask for this if I do decide to sell?

Damn good looking truck. When you decide if you are keeping it or selling it, I will let my Brother in Utah know - he may be interested.

What? The Bronco he (you) snaked from me last year isn't enough toys for him? :laughing2:

Yeah - he flipped that Bronco and made some good money lol. My Bro had a 1979 in high school, sold it a few years later, regretted it for years, and wants another one. I would love to see the interior and engine.

Will do, I'm going to clean out the back and take a few more pics. The back has a lot of parts for these trucks, but haven't sorted through it all yet.

Great looking truck! One of that era is on my list, albeit at the bottom. Should be too hard to sell. I'd just start looking for similar ones online to get an idea of price.

Looks just like my very first truck except was a 76. I miss that granny gear that would hit the dash :)

I'm going back and forth on selling it every time I start it. This thing fires right up and sounds great. Here are a couple pics of the interior and engine.

What's up with the bullet holes in front of the shifter? LOL!

Interior looks to be in good condition, but that Blue is ugly! Nothing a Camo Seat cover won't fix.

No no, I digg the exterior color. But the seats just look unnatural.

I like the custom integrated mirror on the seat.

Lol, those do look like bullet holes on the dash. Not sure what happened there.

That seat is a lot more comfortable than I expected. When I first drove it, I expected it to bounce me all over the place, but really nice ride. I'm also surprised there aren't any major rips in it.

Found the rear view mirror behind the seat. PO installed a new windshield and never got around to putting on the mirror.

Man that thing is realy clean inside and out. I really like the Blue on Blue color scheme. I would change the Brown Door panels to match the blue dash and blue seat. I am sure they are available at LMC in Blue. Sweet truck.

I listed it for $3750. I figure a rebuilt 460 with holly 4bl, performer intake, headers make it worth around that price.

Does it sound fair?

Seems low to me as well. If the timing was right, I'd pick it up and see if I could trade it to my FIL to replace his 67 EB he's been using as a plow truck.
